What Is a Wireless Phone?
A wireless phone has no handset cord and no telephone line cord, so it is portable. This portability lets you move around freely, without giving up the features of a wired phone. With a wireless phone, you can make and receive calls even when you are away from your desk, thus remaining accessible and responsive to your customers and coworkers as you move around your work area.
TransTalk 9000 System
Your wireless phone’s handset is linked with your communications system through a matching radio module, not through the battery charger where the handset sits for charging. Each handset can be used only with the radio module packaged with the handset. The handset and the radio module each have the same unique security code and serial number (on the bottom of the radio module and inside the battery compartment of the handset) to identify the matching pair.

Your TransTalk System may have from 1 to 30 wireless phones. In order to use multiple wireless phones within the same zone (area of coverage), you also need a carrier (also known as a backplane). A carrier holds up to six radio modules and synchronizes radio signals for proper operation of multiple phones, ensuring consistent voice quality and range. If you have a key system (for example, PARTNER or MERLIN), you can link up to three carriers supporting up to 18 wireless phones in a single zone; if you have a PBX system (for example, DEFINITY), you can link up to five carriers, supporting up to 30 wireless phones in a single zone. Linked carriers are automatically synchronized with each other.
The TransTalk 9000 System enables you to use several different phone and carrier models in the same zone; however, there are some compatibility issues to consider. You need to know the following:
•The name of the MDW phone (9000, 9010, 9030P, or 9031, 9031DCP, 9031 Dual Zone), located in the battery compartment of the handset. (For an MDW 9000 phone, you also need to know the Apparatus Code, also located in the battery compartment of the handset.)
•The model number of your carrier, located on the left side of the carrier.
